![]() ![]() ![]() This is somewhat the case for the first disc of the set, which is just a remastered copy of the original. It's difficult to approach an 18-year old, classic album from an objective standpoint, especially if it's basically the same as the original. (Frankly, if you don't have any copy of Ten, you probably want the Legacy edition, as I expect the other reissues will have more material than you're interested in.) Let's get the bottom line out of the way up front: if you don't own a copy of Ten, stop reading and go out and pick up (or load up iTunes, as appropriate) one of the reissues. As a lead-up to Pearl Jam's 20th anniversary in 2011, the band is reissuing their entire back catalog, starting appropriately with their debut. ![]() Originally released in 1991 to relatively slow sales, it eventually overtook that other classic grunge album, Nirvana's Nevermind, and has been certified 12 times platinum. The reissue of Ten clearly falls in the latter category. (I've been burned by this on more than one occasion.) On the other hand, you have multiplatinum classics reissued years later, taking advantage of modern technology to improve on their sound. On the one hand, you have a couple labels that like to reissue CDs only months after their original release with a few new tracks, serving largely to irritate the fans who bought the original release. ![]()
